Motor control: Neural correlates of optimal feedback control theory
Mackenzie Weygandt Mathis, Steffen Schneider
Abstract
Recent work is revealing neural correlates of a leading theory of motor control. By linking an elegant series of behavioral experiments with neural inactivation in macaques with computational models, a new study shows that premotor and parietal areas can be mapped onto a model for optimal feedback control.
